Patient's question:
A 9-month-old baby was taken out for a few walks yesterday. Today, they have a slight fever of 37.9°C, no cough or runny nose, but had a bowel movement at noon with poor digestion and undigested food particles. They were given a fever-reducing suppository at noon, but now they have a higher fever of 37.5°C. What medicine should they take?Doctor's answer:
Body temperature should not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, and there is no need to use fever-reducing medication. Give the baby more water, and they can drink Yu Ping Feng San. Pay close attention and observe carefully. When feeding the baby, pay attention to hygiene and keep the nipple clean at all times. After changing the baby's diaper, ensure hand hygiene. The baby's health is closely related to the mother's diet, so the mother should pay attention to a balanced diet, eat appropriately, and avoid fried and junk foods, as well as soy products and peanut products. The diet should be regular, and cold drinks should be consumed less.
